Labour Party set for landslide victory in UK election, exit poll shows

The United Kingdom's main opposition led by Keir Starmer, Labour Party, is reportedly on course for a historic landslide victory in Britain's general election, an exit poll has shown.

Millions of UK citizens went to the polls on Thursday, July 4, 2024, in a snap election called by the Prime Minister and leader of the ruling Conservative Party, Rishi Sunak.

Meanwhile, an exit poll conducted by a polling company, Ipsos and commissioned by broadcasters including the BBC, ITV and Sky said Starmer’s Labour Party will win the general election with 410 seats.

The poll put the Conservatives on 131 seats, Liberal Democrats (Lib Dem) on 61, Support for the Scottish National Party (SNP) 10, Reform 13, Plaid Cymru 4, Green 2, and others 19 seats.

Though the final and official result isn't expected to be out until Friday, the projection represents the biggest electoral defeat for the Conservative Party since The Great Depression.
